please explain more of what you want to do.

installing bags for more lift on stock suspension? i see you have 4-link written, so are you building an rock crawler and you want to use the bags for the suspension or for more towing capacity?

I built this one years ago, its a triangulated 4-link (1.5" diameter bars). There were some more tubes added to the lower mounts that aren't pictured. Hopefully it gives you an ideal.....

depending on how big of a lift you want to accomplish I would lower your four-link mounts on the frame so your bars aren't at such a drastic angle, its the same geometry as if you were building a four-link for a bagged (lowered) truck. I would use bigger then 1 1/2' bars though, use d.o.m or better and use 7/8-1" hiem joints, 3/4 bolts, with lifted trucks you need to go beefy, you'll be offroading or 4wheeling the truck plus the weight of the bigger tires and rims

the truckim building is a 1st s10 crew cab long bed, my buddy build the cab for me using a blazer and standard cab to make the crew cab, i took a extended cab frame off an s10 and stretched it so i could bolt the cab and the bed trying to make it almost stock, i want to go as big as i possible can with it. not really rock crawling more just for the hell of it really. i am doing a four link i just didnt understand where to mount and what size bars to use. thank you for the info guys!!! i really appreciate it plus the pic really helped me!! i hope this gives an idea of what im trying to do... thanks!!!

i think i know what u mean by lowering the four-link mounts on the frame i have an idea ive seen before, its like in the center of the frame someone build bars down to mount the four-link to, i didnt know if thats what i should do, but i think thats the direction ill take, thanks for the advice!!
